Wthin the same theme KSB3.DE has been very disappointing. I just added a few shares yesterday at 350.5 Euro. The company trades below tangible book (380Euro) and there is substantial net cash on the balance sheet (~180M$). Their earnings are on track to match the 2010 level again, or at least get close. That would be about 45 Euro/ share. Revenues are up in the double digits YOY, despite tough conditions in some business lines., nevertheless, the stock has been fairly weak.

As I mentioned before, the pump business appears to get better economics over time, it was deeply cyclical in the 80's and 90's but I suspect that increased maintenance and consolidation has improved the economics for the remaining players like Sulzer, KSB, Xylem and others.
